Congressional Items of Interest: Continuing to support dismantlement goals and W76 Life Extension
Program (LEP) Full-Production Rates.
Major Changes or Shifts: The RTBF funding increases significantly in support of the High Explosive
Pressing Facility construction activities ramping up in FY 2012, as well as increased workloads
associated with weapon program activity, including increased LEP’s and surveillance while beginning a
path towards finalizing the recovery effort of the FY 2010 flood. In addition, the RTBF program is
providing additional funding for Pantex Operations of Facilities to meet required minimum-operational
levels, due to the increasing investments in corrective maintenance to address degrading and aging
infrastructure.
INTRODUCTION:
Site Description
The Pantex Plant (Pantex) is situated on 18,000 acres in the Texas Panhandle, approximately 17 miles
northeast of Amarillo. Pantex has five primary operational missions: (1) Weapons Assembly,
(2) Weapons Disassembly, (3) Weapons Evaluation, (4) High Explosive Research and Development,
and (5) Interim Plutonium Pit Storage. The site is also aligned with Modernization activities, which
include actions to improve throughput capacity, accelerate dismantlements, and support consolidation of
special nuclear materials.
